Once lean China faces obesity surge in cities and markets

Wuhai airport links coal town to world
In a remote Inner Mongolia coal town of 420,000 people, Wuhai opened a small runway last December, with a thrice weekly Beijing flight. The airport aims to lure investors and connect this isolated city to modern China's market economy, despite challenges in regional openness and transport gaps nearby. Local officials and residents express cautious optimism about bigger growth and faster access to the outside world.
